The timeline on this is so brilliant, I read it twice. All too real this one. Well done!

Bleak. Loved the reversed timeline, that's something I've been trying to work out for ages. And you nailed it. Well-oiled prose with a satisfying snap at the end. EJ at her best!

thank you Ken! this one was too dark for a lot of people but I could have known you’d be able to handle it. 😉

Too... dark is what you're saying? Is there even such a thing? I think that just means you knocked it out of the park. And just to be clear, JJ scares the shit out of me too. Along with fucking ark-type situations. A+, from darkstack to darkstack.

You gotta go where the story leads you, sometimes it’s a dark place🤷‍♀️ I feel like one of the marks of a good writer is being brave enough to follow, which you definitely are. That’s why your stuff is always so compelling and intense.

E.J., I'm halfway through "Weatherman," and it's got me. This woman, her terse comments and her tatoo are perfect. I'm going to do some writing and then flash back and continue reading. Thank you for another exciting and inticing. story.
